I am sure I can figure it out, but you haven't included instructions on putting the bottom on.

I made these shoes and I attached the bottom by using a paint brush and gumpaste glue (gumpaste and water). I place the bottom on waxed paper and applied the glue around the edge of the bottom. Then, I placed the top on and put crinkled platic wrap inside.to keep the shape until it dried. I used cotton balls for the first one I made and the cotton stuck where I had glued it.
